[Linux-stable-mirror] Patch "x86/kbuild: enable modversions for symbols exported from asm" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/kbuild: enable modversions for symbols exported from asm to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: x86-kbuild-enable-modversions-for-symbols-exported-from-asm.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 334bb773876403eae3457d81be0b8ea70f8e4ccc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Borowski <kilobyte(a)angband.pl> Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2016 02:09:18 +0100 Subject: x86/kbuild: enable modversions for symbols exported from asm From: Adam Borowski <kilobyte(a)angband.pl> commit 334bb773876403eae3457d81be0b8ea70f8e4ccc upstream. Commit 4efca4ed ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") adds modversion support for symbols exported from asm files. Architectures must include C-style declarations for those symbols in asm/asm-prototypes.h in order for them to be versioned. Add these declarations for x86, and an architecture-independent file that can be used for common symbols. With f27c2f6 reverting 8ab2ae6 ("default exported asm symbols to zero") we produce a scary warning on x86, this commit fixes that.

The macro MODULE is not a config option, it is a per-file build option. So, config_enabled(MODULE) is not sensible. (There is another case in include/linux/export.h, where config_enabled() is used against a non-config option.) This commit renames some macros in include/linux/kconfig.h for the use for non-config macros and replaces config_enabled(MODULE) with __is_defined(MODULE).

[Linux-stable-mirror] Patch "EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: export_symbol-for-asm.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 22823ab419d8ed884195cfa75483fd3a99bb1462 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro <viro(a)zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:54:54 -0500 Subject: EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm From: Al Viro <viro(a)zeniv.linux.org.uk> commit 22823ab419d8ed884195cfa75483fd3a99bb1462 upstream. Add asm-usable variants of EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This commit just adds the default implementation; most of the architectures can simply add export.h to asm/Kbuild and start using <asm/export.h> from assembler. The rest needs to have their <asm/export.h> define everal macros and then explicitly include <asm-generic/export.h> One area where the things might diverge from default is the alignment; normally it's 8 bytes on 64bit targets and 4 on 32bit ones, both for unsigned long and for struct kernel_symbol. Unfortunately, amd64 and m68k are unusual - m68k aligns to 2 bytes (for both) and amd64 aligns struct kernel_symbol to 16 bytes. For those we'll need asm/export.h to override the constants used by generic version - KSYM_ALIGN and KCRC_ALIGN for kernel_symbol and unsigned long resp. And no, __alignof__ would not do the trick - on amd64 __alignof__ of struct kernel_symbol is 8, not 16. More serious source of unpleasantness is treatment of function descriptors on architectures that have those. Things like ppc64, parisc, ia64, etc. need more than the address of the first insn to call an arbitrary function. As the result, their representation of pointers to functions is not the typical "address of the entry point" - it's an address of a small static structure containing all the required information (including the entry point, of course). Sadly, the asm-side conventions differ in what the function name refers to - entry point or the function descriptor. On ppc64 we do the latter; bar: .quad foo is what void (*bar)(void) = foo; turns into and the rare places where we need to explicitly work with the label of entry point are dealt with as DOTSYM(foo). For our purposes it's ideal - generic macros are usable. However, parisc would have foo and P%foo used for label of entry point and address of the function descriptor and bar: .long P%foo woudl be used instead. ia64 goes similar to parisc in that respect, except that there it's @fptr(foo) rather than P%foo. Such architectures need to define KSYM_FUNC that would turn a function name into whatever is needed to refer to function descriptor. What's more, on such architectures we need to know whether we are exporting a function or an object - in assembler we have to tell that explicitly, to decide whether we want EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo) produce e.g. __ksymtab_foo: .quad foo or __ksymtab_foo: .quad @fptr(foo) For that reason we introduce EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), to be used for exports of data objects. On normal architectures it's the same thing as EXPORT_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), but on parisc-like ones they differ and the right one needs to be used. Most of the exports are functions, so we keep EXPORT_SYMBOL for those...

Odd. I'm doing this from a train, so maybe that file didn't get pushed out properly from my side, I'll do it again and hopefully it will "stick" this time... thanks, greg k-h
